The Poetic Justice page on the St. Louis CofCC Static Webpage has a couple of updates.
(1) “Lucky Dube,” a South African reggae singer, was not so lucky. After making a career of writing anti-apartheid and anti-white music, he was carjacked and shot to death by two men last night in suburban Johannesburg. And it’s not surprising because:
South Africa has one of the highest crime rates in the world, recording an average of 50 murders each day. U.N. crime statistics say one in three Johannesburg residents has been robbed. Rapes and assaults also are common.
He wanted equality, and he got equality.
(2) Timothy Treadwell, of “Timothy and the Three Bears,” had a movie made about his life’s story. Called Into the Wild, it stars Emile Hirsch as the Treadwell-like Christopher McCandless, and is directed by Sean Penn. The Post has the local showtimes. Netflix will have it in a few months.
